We all know that there are type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and now there is another type called "maturity onset diabetes of the young" (maturity onset diabetes of the young). Its degree of insulin deficiency is between type 1 and type 2, so it is called diabetes type 1.5. It’s worth noting that this type of diabetes is less likely to be diagnosed! Due to a single gene defect, which is a family inheritance, most patients experience mildly elevated blood sugar levels in adolescence. However, because the symptoms are not obvious and adolescents usually do not undergo health examinations, it is difficult to detect. Unlike the first type of autoimmune disease, patients are diagnosed at an older age and have negative antibodies. However, compared with type 2 diabetes, the age of onset of patients is relatively early, about 35 years old. And overall, these patients with "young adult diabetes" are not very fat!
